#CryptoRoundTableRemarks At the round table of the SEC Cryptocurrency Working Group, which took place on May 12, 2025, Chairman Paul Atkins announced a significant change in cryptocurrency regulations in the USA. Moving away from a policy focused on enforcement, Atkins emphasized the need for clear, rational rules regarding the issuance, storage, and trading of digital assets. He advocated for broader storage options and explained that some cryptocurrency assets may not be subject to federal securities regulations, calling for the development of appropriate exceptions and safe harbors. Commissioner Hester Peirce supported this approach, highlighting the potential of blockchain networks to tokenize assets. Meanwhile, Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw warned against favoring specific technologies, cautioning that it could lead to government bias in market dynamics.
